wedding cake

[jyh76]

I am looking for quality affordable wedding cakes in GTA. Can anyone suggest a place? Thanks in advance.

After buying ours from a "Wedding Cake Bakery" (and spending way too much) I was suprised to find out that many Grocery chains (Loblaws, Fortinos, A&P, Sobeys) with bakeries do Wedding Cakes for very good prices.

last year I bought my cake from this small italin bakery in Mississauga, called La Sem (also a restaurant)....very decent prices, compared to other places, like half of the cost...

They have from simple cakes to very fancy (and expensive too) and the people there are not really pushy...

It's somewhere on Eglinton and Dixie...just search on the yellowpages.ca or simply drop by.

My wedding is in 2 weeks and I made ours. Much cheaper and very easy if you have baked before.

those chinese bakeries charge around $13.00/lbs i think.

might be able to get it a bit cheaper by prepaying for gift cards and paying by the GCs.

Does anybody else have any ideas of where to get a cheap wedding cake? I have looked at number of places but the prices I am seeing are in between $300-$700 (which I find absurd).

Hi,

try Stubbe chocolate in Toronto and Ottawa!

I shop at the Ottawa one all the time and buy alot of cakes there for gifts, dinners ect...

They do not have a "wedding" cake but have many fancy cakes tha are made by a European master baker (the owner makes all the cakes and sellls alot of them for receptions).

a small cake with 8 slices is usually about $25 but if you want a bigger cake they can surely make one.
I have only bought smaller cakes- up to 15 slices there but I have seen some huge cakes they make in the store.

They make most of their cakes custom to order.

They also have really yummy chocolate turffles and I usually stop in after work to buy one or two on the way home sometimes...

There are alot of reviews about them online but you should call them as they have very resonable prices (too cheap if you ask me...)

I have tried every single cake they make and they are all very good, very rich though as they only use real butter, cream and real natural ingredients...

I just wish i could bake like that...

anyway here's the info:

Stubbe Chocolates and Pastry

Address: 253 Davenport Rd. (at Avenue Rd.) 416-923-0956

We’re never sure whether to put Daniel Stubbe’s place under chocolatiers or pâtisseries, but chocolate always wins. One reason is the uses he finds for Barry Callebaut’s distinct regional chocolates—bars made from crops from Tanzania, São Tomé, Java and Grenada, plus new arrivals from Cuba and Santo Domingo—which he turns into truffles for high days and holidays. At Christmas, truffle trees are the biggest thing: up to 85 truffles stuck to a chocolate trunk with a chocolate star on top. His cakes and tortes are made with a bare minimum of flour, sometimes none at all, as in a traditional German hazelnut torte that contains only sugar, eggs and hazelnuts. Ginger cookies substitute marzipan for some of the sugar in the recipe, making them exceptionally light and flavourful. Closed Sunday.

(they are open in ottawa on sundays, so maybe in to too thesedays?)

they don't have w website but this is from:

unfortunately, I can't get you any "deals" as I only know the owners of the one in Ottawa, but their prices are really good anyways.

Happy Wedding!
